Mr.. F. D. Mussey, Of the CONNER
eial Gazette, presented few days ago,
an array of figures from the records,
showing the casualties during the
War of the Rebellion. From this ar
ray we quote the following:
Official returns show that about g.
100000 soldiers enlisted during the
war in response to the Successive calls
Of President Lincoln, and that of this
number 180,097 were colored troops.
Reports show that the Northern
and Southern armies met in over 1000
skirmishes and battles. In 148 of
these conflicts the loss on the Federal
side was over 500 men, and in at least
10 battles over 10000 men were re-
ported lost on each side. The append
ed table shows that the combined loss
es of the Federal and Confederate
forces in killed, wounded and missing,
in the following engagements were:
Shiloh, $4,000; Antietam, $4,000;
Stone River, $1,000; Charlottesville,
$4,000; Gettysburg, $4,000; Chicka-
mauga, $4,000; McClellan's Peninsu-
la campaign, $4,000; Grants Peninsu-
la campaign, 10000, and Sherman's s

who are known to have died while in
the hands of the enemy as prisoners
of war, and many others in the same
manner whose deaths are unrecorded; !;
second, fair percentage of the 205,-
794 men who are put down on the
official reports as deserters and miss
ing in action, for those who partici-
pated in the war know that men fire.

had not deserted, yet could not be 9TH
erwise officially accounted for; third,
thousands who are buried in private
cemeteries all over the North who
died while at home on furlough.
